Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague

announce holding of the

Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2017-Design and Fatigue of Weldments

Karlovo náměstí 13, Prague 2 - Nové Město, Czech Republic

November 13 - 16, 2017

Introduction

After 6 successful volumes of the WCFA workshop (see their programs)
topped by the Vibration Fatigue Analysis workshop in the last year,
and based on well visited specialized Damage Tolerance courses, the organizers decided
to bring along another highly specialized fatigue topic. This volume of WCFA workshop focuses on weldments in both aspects - rules
of their design to sustain static or repeated loading, and it focuses on subsequent fatigue prediction above all.

As usually in the case of WCFA workshops,
we decided to start the fatigue part with a series of introductory lectures for the second day covered by Prof Milan Růžička,
Dr Jan Papuga and Dr Josef Jurenka.
This part serves as a quick start for those attendants, who have no or only very limited experience
with fatigue prediction.

Content of lectures

The course is built in such a way, that no prior knowledge on fatigue analysis is needed. The first day is devoted
to the design of welded structures entirely. The basic principles of the common fatigue damage estimation are described in the next day,
while the content related to the fatigue analysis of weldments is extensively discussed in next two days.
In order to better suit the needs of participants and to fit the course to the level of their knowledge, several variants of the course are provided as shown in the table below.

Attendance Fee

The fee is set in various versions to cover all potential needs of participants. The Early Bird rate
is available to those who will pay before September 22, 2017, while Regular rate is for all participants who settle
their payment afterwards. Members of the Czech Society for Mechanics pay 10% less from any of the aforementioned prices.

The conference fee includes access to the lectures, printouts of the presentations, an attendance certificate, meals and drinks during lunches and coffee breaks.
The accommodation costs are not included in it.

Details concerning payment of the attendance fee are presented in the Payment section of the conference website.

Application

You can register to the meeting in the Application section.
Note please that there is the early bird rate established and also that the members of the Czech Society for Mechanics are expected to pay 10% less.
